When are you planning to travel down Andy

My guess is the same plans as last year? I think Gordon, Mark and myself will head down in convoy so could meet you at Fleet Services again, mid morning, Friday?

Hunter (and anyone else on route) joining us?

Sounds good to me.

Details......

Arrive at Swanage Football club any time after 1230 on Fri, the cost is £6 per adult per night for Fri and Sat, kids are £2.50 with Sun free anyone that wants to stay over.

The bar will be open on Sat night and as usual we will have the use of the BBQ's if wanted.

The Theme is Superhero's but fancy dress is NOT compulsory, the parade is at 3pm on Sun we form up just before 2 so please try to stay for this if you can. Anyone that needs to can depart before the crowds straight after.

The cruise on Sat is in your hands, I've had little feedback on if you would like to do the Tank Museum and Monkey world so we could just do the chain ferry, beach run for fish and chips (Weymouth) then back through the Purbecks route?

If you are bringing a Caravan or Motorhome please drop me a line, trailer tents & camper vans not included.

Weather will be Swanagetastic so see you all there.

Cheers flags

To be honest, personally I can take or leave either monkey or tank world, so speaking for myself am happy to just do the Weymouth beach or even head up to last years locations for a picnic.

What's everyone else thinking?

Coast route to Weymouth sounds good, last years route was brilliant though!
Flags, have sent you a PM.

As much as I like Tank World, Lisa would kill me if I went there without her, so I vote for the extra few miles down to Weymouth and a bag of chips.

We already have Monkey World covered back at the football ground with the camping and apes   

we will be there with 11 or 12 people from belgium.
will be coming with the camper and trailer
and 1 t25 with trailer.
toon will come as well ;-)

o flags, can you arrange tickets for us for the tank museum please?

looks like i will be driveing up alone from cornwall,anyone else going uphill ? i am not very organized on this one its kinda crept up on me,will i get a pitch if i dont book ? Hell i havent even booked a pitch for my own buggy weekend yet    . Ive been very busy with band and metalflakeing guitars etc and have done sod all else,whats this talk about Torquay whwn are we going there ? thanx 

Trevor,
Camping at Swanage is compact and very basic, and we tend to put all the tents as close as we can together "refugee stylee" but don`t worry, Flags will make sure that any tents have space, and cars will be herded into the corner to make space. Because I`m taking my trailer tent, I`m hoping to be there for early afternoon on the friday - and its just under a 3 hour trip from here. If you can make the friday, and can be around Devon area mid morning, then more than happy to cruise up with you  - from here to Swanage is a really nice drive.

For those not camped before this should give you an idea....

(we have been known to squeeze more in if necessary too!)

Count me and Mrs boatboy in. Be there early sat. Love a breakfast on the sun if possible too?

Spoke to the Football club today, they are happy with around 25 for breakfast which I think we should do. Here's some details:

The countdown begins.
Just a quick up date and some details for those that are incoming.
The boring bits first:
Please park all daily drivers in the football club car park once you have unloaded as space is always tight (as Peters daily is a buggy he is the only exception).
Everything we dump in the car park must be moved to the campsite before we leave for the cruise, there is no game on Sat this year but the Army are using the club house as a changing area and coach park.
Tents are the top of the food chain and as such get priority on the flat grassed areas, campervans can always park on the car park but tents can't.
Please keep your awnings and gazebos to a minimum and don't be offended if you are asked to move something to squeeze somebody in, we have a couple of buggies not arriving until Sat.
All buggies are to be parked on the sloped area as it's no use for camping and that way they will not get blocked in.
Please fill up with fuel either on the way in or early on Saturday as stopping on the first part of the cruise for fuel is very difficult.
The bar is open on Saturday night and for breakfast on Sunday but please don't all go to breakfast in 1 lump as the kitchen is quite small and the volunteers who cook and serve it will have hangovers.
That's all the crap out of the way so.......
Here's a bit of other stuff:
It never rains at Swanage but if it does for Sat we have a couple of options, either head into in Poole for shopping and to see the town or head out to the Tank museum or monkey world?
Someone asked what the 'Facilities' are like?  I spent 29 years living off tanks so I've seen worse but they may be a shock if you're a bit posh.
I will post the cruise route next week so please take the time to have a look, it is IMPOSIBLE to keep 20 plus buggies together in Poole and would be dangerous to try so there will be collection points along the way.
Superhero kit for the procession is not compulsory; it's more about the fun than the fancy dress but if you have it all the better. The main crux of the weekend is the procession so please, please try to stay long enough to do it, I realise that some have a little further to travel than me and if you need to you can head straight out of town after we have finished.
See you all at the weekend, bring a hat, beer and sun cream.
